    Hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha.
    Wait. KMART a superstar?
    HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA.

    No. It's been obvious for a long time, but the fact of the matter is nobody is coming to Houston until we establish ourselves.

    We'll see if this happens in the next 30 days. If not, he's leaving (though probably not to Houston).

    With, Dwight, K-Mart would be the perfect foil. High scoring two guard who can gamble defensively with Dwight behind him.

    If the discussed amnesty clause comes into existence, Orlando could use it on Gilbert Arenas's massive contract. They'd still have to pay Arenas, but still it might give them the salary-cap space to go after another star player.

    I don't think K-Mart "gambles" on defense. He just plain sucks on defense. He might as well gamble since opponents will blow right past him anyway.

    If you are talking about LeBron then if he cared about his legacy that much he would have stayed in Cleveland. The only people who seem to care about his legacy is the guys debating back and forth about his legacy.


    What is wrong with caring about your ring count at the age of 25 especially after playing in the league for 6 years.

    In all likelihood, he probably goes to Brooklyn. They hvae the big market and an all-star point guard.

    That would also enable them to trade Brook Lopez. Assuming he isn't required in a sign and trade for Howard, he could bring them back some SERIOUS depth. I know Brook Lopez is nowhere near Howard's level, but good centers are in HIGH demand. Hell, I wonder what all the Rockets would be willing to give up for Brook Lopez?

    I forgot about him too, they could use some help at the 3, and Brook could easily net them a decent 3 and some bench players. For the first time since the Kidd era, the Nets have a bright future ahead of them.

    I wonder if hearing Bynum is untouchable had something to do with it.

    That's what I specifically meant, plus the surprise hire of Mike Brown.
